Jesus's Divinity: Seeking Completeness In Imperfection

When contemplating the life of Jesus Christ, the concept of his "perfection" often emerges among Christians. However, the idea of perfection can be interpreted in various ways, encompassing multiple dimensions. In exploring the notion of Jesus's perfection, we find that it extends beyond mere flawlessness and opens up deeper meanings. The Absolute Perfection: A Flawless Existence?

Traditionally, Jesus's perfection has been understood as absolute flawlessness—void of sin, errors, or deficiencies. Yet, a closer examination reveals that Jesus, too, experienced extensive sufferings, such as those on the Garden of Gethsemen it becomes clear that he was dealing with his own demons. It becomes apparent that no individual on this Earth is absolutely perfect, as suffering and trials are inherent aspects of the human experience. Imperfections and challenges provide opportunities for growth, wisdom, and the appreciation of joy. Perfection as Wholeness: Embracing Imperfection Another perspective on perfection involves viewing it as a state of wholeness. Wholeness encompasses physical, biological, emotional, mental, social and spiritual wholeness, yet it remains a relative concept. While individuals may strive for wholeness, the ever-changing nature of life introduces ebbs and flows that challenge the attainment of continuous wholeness. Imperfection, therefore, becomes an integral part of the human condition. Completeness: Fulfilling the Heavenly Mission A profound understanding of Jesus's perfection arises when considering completeness as the key. Perfection, in this sense, lies in fulfilling one's heavenly mission on Earth. It is often understood that Jesus was the first person to accomplish this feat, demonstrating the state of perfection depicted in the scriptures. Rather than being absolutely perfect or whole in every way, Jesus achieved perfection by fulfilling his divine purpose during his earthly existence. The Journey of Human Consciousness As humans, we are born into this world with a "fall" of memory, gaining a new consciousness within our earthly bodies. Our purpose is to navigate the collective unconsciousness to reconcile the earthly and heavenly realms. Our limitations necessitate collecting data and analyzing it within the confines of our human minds to seek truth. Thus, while Jesus possessed remarkable knowledge, great compassion and performed miracles, the prevailing collective unconsciousness lacked concepts like atoms, relativity, and evolution to articulate the truths he uncovered. A perfect hu'man' would have been able to articulate and share these truths effectively with the world, even in a primitive world. Conclusion: The concept of perfection in relation to Jesus's divinity goes beyond conventional understandings. Perfection does not require absolute flawlessness, but rather the completion of one's heavenly mandate. Physical, mental, and spiritual balance, rather than perfection, becomes the key to fulfilling our individual missions on this planet. As humans, we have the potential to embrace our imperfections and strive for completeness. Remember, it is in our humanity that we can uncover our divinity.
